Abstract:
There are over 70
different species of Angelfish that live in warm ocean waters around the
world. Among them, few species are from fresh waters. Angelfish belong
to the Pomacanthus family. The genetic differentiation and phylogenetic
relationships among two species of the Pomacanthus family (maculosus and
imperator) were investigated by mtDNA sequencing of samples taken from
the southern parts of the Persian Gulf. The PCR- sequencing was applied
to explore the 1170bp of 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA from the gill tissues of
11 angelfish collected from 3 different parts of the Persian Gulf.
Between Pomacanthus imperator and Pomacanthusmaculosus, twenty-two and
thirty-one nucleotide differences were found in 12S rRNA and 16S rRNA
genes, respectively. According to our phylogenetic trees, all
Pomacanthus maculosus specimens taken from three different regions were
clustered in one group, whereas the Pomacanthus imperator specimen is
phylogenetically separated from the Pomacanthus maculosus specimens.
